Emma Stone prefers funny over sexy tag

Los Angeles, Aug 29 (IANS) Actress Emma Stone says she likes being seen as a funny person rather than being called sexy.

The 24-year-old, who has featured in movies like "Friends With Benefits", "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", says she even has a list of actor-comedians who have inspired her.

"I would much rather be seen as funny than sexy. And I love watching comedies," Fairlady magazine quoted Stone as saying.

"When I was growing up, I fell in love with the old ‘Saturday Night Live’ shows and I was inspired by people like Steve Martin, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and John Candy. They were real trailblazers for me," she added.
